MLB will not discipline Alex Rodriguez after investigating whether he lied to baseball officials about using steroids, the New York Times reports. In March, Rodriguez admitted to investigators and the public that he had used performance-enhancing drugs, but only from 2001 to 2003. After a book published in April suggested he continued using well after that, baseball officials opened an investigation into A-Rod's truthfulness.

Investigators sought to interview the author of A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, but Selena Roberts declined. The book asserts that Rodriguez received banned substances from trainer Angel Persinal through 2004—other reports say his relationship with the player lasted until 2007—but many of the accusations are outdated and anonymous. An interview with Persinal yielded no new information.

GREAT POINT!! Charlie Hustle gets no respect from the league for DECADES. But A-ROD won't get ANY discipline? FTW???

Yes. It's the American past time for a reason. That, football BY FAR, and aggressive confrontation is the metaphor of American mentality. We will do whatever it takes to get paid. We will screw over whomever we need to get what we want. And when it comes time for the moral delima to be resolved -like pedophile priests, like lying adulterous Congressmen, like greedy financiers, we just go, 'meh. The ultimate in phony hypocrisy.@T2K, you said a MOUTH FULL. Ask GWb and Karl Rove about cheaters being rewarded!!!

Forgive A-Rod? Then forgive Rose. Both lied. Whatever happened to treating equals equally? Whatever happened to equal punishment for the same offense?
